Busting Excuses

Isn’t it true that when we get nervous, we make excuses? And it’s usually excuses that keep us from doing things that WE want. We seem to put ourselves last in everything we do, and consequently what we are doing is hurting ourselves because we are neglecting to love ourselves first and to take care of ourselves. We can’t effectively take care of others if we can’t take care of ourselves first. Sometimes life gets too busy whether it’s because of work, taking care of kids or aging parents. Sometimes it’s more important to spend time with our partner. We also use excuses for not doing what we want by saying, “I need to lose weight first!” or “I just don’t have the money right now!” I am here to tell you that you can bust through those excuses and stop the endless cycle of self-sabotage and feel so much better for it. You CAN do it! YOU, my friend, are worthy of self-love! It’s time to put yourself first. Let me show you.

“I don’t have enough time for myself”

If you aren’t taking care of yourself mentally and physically, you’re not going to be able to take care of anyone else. Yes, I know, it is so much harder to do than it sounds. Giving yourself a day to just do something that you want to do will do wonders for your mental state. Walk away from the stress, slow down and breathe. You’ll be amazed at how you can face the world with a new perspective when you feel good about yourself.

At a boudoir shoot, you are invited to let go of the stress and love yourself for a few hours. Think of all the negative energy you’ll save if you stop comparing yourself to others or stop worrying about what other people will think of how you look. Getting to see your beauty in an uninhibited way will transform the way you feel about yourself and free yourself from such a huge mental burden. Talk about a confidence boost!

You need to take time for yourself, why not spend it having an amazing time and getting glammed up for once?

I know. I know. “I’m not where I want to be with my weight, and I don’t fit the media’s idea of a good size.”

Did you know that the body type forced upon us as “ideal” on social media, in magazines and on television is possessed naturally by only 5% of American females? ONLY FIVE PERCENT. No wonder we feel like we aren’t good enough! Don’t allow the media to dictate that you are less than perfect because you don’t conform to their screwed-up beauty standards. YOU are beautiful and YOU are enough!

You do NOT have to be a certain shape or size to love yourself.

Your weight is NOT your worth.

Your body does NOT define you.

It’s important to have goals and if that goal includes wanting to get healthy, it doesn’t mean that you have to hate your body to do it. Give yourself some grace and love yourself every step of the way. Be proud of where you are so that you can be proud of where you’re going. Have a boudoir shoot to celebrate where you are now, and then have another one when you lose that 15 pounds to celebrate how far you’ve come!

“I never feel sexy or sensual anymore so a boudoir shoot must not be for me.” 

This excuse is the EXACT reason you SHOULD do a boudoir shoot.

Often times when life gets crazy, we lose touch with our femininity or sexuality. This could be because of work, our health, our kids, our age, our hormones, you name it. It happens a lot and it is absolutely normal and okay! A great way to find this side of ourselves again is to have a boudoir shoot and see yourself through a different lens to put that spark back in us. I promise you, that spark is still there, and it might even improve your relationship with you and your partner!

Feeling sexy or sensual does NOT mean that you have to wear sexy clothing or lingerie. Feeling sexy is a mindset. If lingerie and sexy clothing don’t fit with your personality, that’s OK! There are other options. If you need ideas, I will gladly talk to you about them, or you can check out our blog on finding outfits here!

“A boudoir shoot is an investment, and I don’t have the money right now.” 

Yes, a boudoir shoot IS an investment. It is an investment in YOU! You are investing in your well-being and confidence! We do offer payment plans. In order to book your shoot, there is a booking retainer, and after that we can set up your payment plan for the remainder so that it might be easier to book a shoot! If you have any questions about payment plans, shoot us an email!
